Forums - Microsoft Discussion - What's the major cause of the RRoD? MS made the GPU themselves.

As was brought up on Slashdot this isn't even remotely true ... Since the XBox 360 was announced it was known that ATI was developing the GPU.


Yeah this didn't ring true at all when I was reading it... I was pretty sure ATI did the design.

From all I've read, my best guess is that the RROD is a consequence of design decisions made on the console as a whole. If it's down to any specific component, it's probably something in the motherboard.

If true, that's pretty damned funny.

Someone that MS probably shitcanned a few years back has egg all over their face right now.
Edited for probable accuracy.

True. That person was probably axed shortly before MS signed off $1b for RRoD costs.
